Ok, so for a month or so, I had been looking to try the LGF Serie R Maduro. By all accounts it was a great, tasty, oily, full-bodied hunk of a cigar. After nursing my recently acquired batch for 2 weeks in the humi, I finally lit one up and, well, it was OK, but no big deal. I actually thought my yardgar Glorias had more taste and body. I have 3 more in the wings now, but am half-contemplating adding 2 black label Maximos to the 3 and trading the fiver for something else....any ideas? Any thoughts? Am I a victim of the marketing hype and an unnatural attraction to pitch black maduros? Or have the ISOM's spoiled me rotten and there is no going back? ???

BINGO we have a winnah at table nine :laugh:
Actually Kent, I prefer these slightly over the regular LCG maduros but my snobby Havana taste buds tend to give the thumbs down to most NC's except of course the high-end, almost-impossible-to-find ones like Padron 1926's, Opus X, Anejo, etc.
Consider yourself a captive of the "dark side" there is no hope for you now.........

It's problematic isn't it? All the great cigars that I used to keep in the humi just to have for special occasions, now I am smoking them at an alarming rate and ordering more. It is very hard to return from the dark side. When you do it costs a lot!
SIGH
I was afraid of this. It does seem that NC's lack the deeper underlying flavor that many of the ISOM's I have tried have (RyJ's seem to be one of those tasteless ones tho).
Seeing that Mr. ISOM actually prefers the SerieR to the regular ones, maybe I need to smoke another to make sure there really is no hope. If they still seem bland I'll PM you Treamayne to see about getting the remaining 2 (plus a couple black labels to make the postage worth while) to try out.
